Famous quotes containing the words creed and/or meredith:

    “The new statement will comprise the skepticisms, as well as the faiths of society, and out of unbeliefs a creed shall be formed. For, skepticisms are not gratuitous or lawless, but are limitations of the affirmative statement, and the new philosophy must take them in, and make affirmations outside of them, just as much as must include the oldest beliefs.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “That rarest gift
    To Beauty, Common Sense!”
    —George Meredith (1828–1909)
